If Blair won't do it let's hope that somebody will

The BAE scandal just won't go away for Tony Blair. This morning came news (see pot below) that MI6 was refuting his suggestion that an inquiry into alleged bribery, that implicated Saudi princes among others, related to the deal to sell EuroFighters to Saudi Arabia had to be cancelled in the interests of national security. Now comes word that the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development will press the government to explain the cancellation of the probe. The UK is a signatory to the OECD anti-bribery convention and therefore will be put in an uncomfortable position.

I shall sit back and enjoy the spectacle!
